Card Recipe:
Uniko Studio: Rustic Christmas & Simply Said - Christmas
MFT Die-Namics: Snow drifts (for masking and inking)
and Fishtail Flags for the sentiment
Distress Ink: Faded Jeans & misted with Perfect Pearls
The 'silver embossed' DP has been in my stash since time began!
I stumbled across it while having a sort out but couldn't tell you where it's from
Next up I'm using 'newbies' (NBUS) following my little
retail therapy trip to the NEC with the LIM ladies last week!
Card Recipe:
Inkylicious: Poppy stamp (NBUS)
Card-io: Flutterby Garden (NBUS)
Uniko Studio: Simply Said - Birthday
MFT Die-namics: Pierced Rectangle stax & Fishtail Flags
Background created using Verscolor canary ink with a 'baby wipe'!
Fabulous technique by Wendy at Card-io - I love it!
So I'll be entering this at the lovely Darnell's NBUS challenge
and also Seize the Birthday which I haven't entered for ages ... very sorry ladies
- it somehow slipped by me until another super talented blog buddy;
Hannelie (Desert Diva) jogged my memory with her DT card.
I'd also like to enter a second card at Time Out Challenges
where there's an optional twist of black, white and a splash of another colour!
Ok that's me for today but I'll be back tomorrow with the latest
challenge at Less is More so hope to catch you then.
Thanks for calling in and peeping at my cards.
Both cards are so pretty.

ReplyDeleteYou have made two wonderful and unique cards, Sarah. I'm admiring the snow landscape on the first card. It's awesome. The spring flowers stamp was a superb "investment". :-) Very nice CAS design. Love yellow background.
